SPRING Competition Winner!


Congratulations Lisa!! Here is your winning entry in the Spring Competition.
I had a hard time choosing a winner from the entries. Luckily a friend came around and asked what I was doing - so I asked her which layout she liked best and then thanked her for judging the competition!!
Looking forward to seeing the entries for the next competition - FRIENDS is the theme. Submit a single or double layout for a chance to win a TLC Cardz Kit!

September/October Workshops


Workshops held Monday nights 7-9pm & Thursdays mornings 9.30-11.30 am
CREATIVE CROP - every alternative week
Bring your photos and tools then crop the time away. Great for finishing a layout from
another workshop or making a dent in that ever growing pile of photos! Come along crop,
chat & laugh. Class cost - $6
SCRAP’N’SOUP NIGHT- 23rd September & 21st October
Come along on a Saturday night for 6 hours of scrapping fun! Bring your photos and tools
then crop the night away. As it is winter, there will be hot bread and homemade soup to
warm you up, some softies in the fridge and tea or coffee with chocolate biscuits - you
might even get some scrapping done!! A great night of scrapping fun - strictly limited to 8
places, be quick to book. Cost $10 includes dinner!
I’M THANKFUL FOR...7th & 11th September
What are you thankful for? This is a great layout to get you thinking and using a photo of
you!!! When was the last time you scrapped you - I mean a recent photo of you…. You
will need to think about what you are thankful for and come prepared with a list of at least
10 things. This layout uses an A4 size photo (mine is B&W) and lots of embellishing.
Bring along your supply of ribbons, floss, buttons, brads and flowers. These are available
for sale if you need them. You will also need an embroidery needle. **If you can’t get
your photo blown up to A4, I can print it for you at a cost of $8 per page. I have used
chipboard letters for my title - there will be sets available for sale, or you can cut out letters
using a stencil. Class cost $10.00 - includes cardstock and paper
WHAT’S IN A NAME- 21st & 25th September
A rose by any other name…. What does a name mean to you? This one page layout
uses one photo (portrait orientation). You will take your name and use each letter to think
of a word that describes the person. Beautiful for a title page or to frame as an extra
special gift. I have used chipboard letters for my title - there will be sets available for
sale, or you can cut out letters using a stencil. Class cost $15- includes cardstock,
paper, metal frame
FLOWERS & STRIPES - 5th & 9th October
Patterned paper in strips in the background, with flowers abundantly flowing around. This
layout will certainly bring out that spring feeling! You will use chipboard & silk flowers - a
great contrast. Class cost $19 - includes cardstock, patterned paper, 1 x pkt of
quicksand chip flowers & silk flowers.
SIMPLY GRAPHIC - 19th & 23rd October
Take a deep breath, now imagine - clean lines… open space… simple shapes… impactful
photographs… eye catching titles… neat columns of text. Sound good? This refreshing
style of scrapbooking is often inspired by print advertisements, billboards, cd jackets,
magazine articles and other designs. In this workshop learn how to use your inner
“Designer’s Eye” to create a layout with graphic design qualities! Class cost $14 -
includes cardstock, patterned paper
Basic Tools
*required for all workshops
Adhesives, Trimmer/Scissors, Pencil & Eraser, Craft Knife & Metal Ruler, Tweezers,

Computer Gremlins!

Hi everyone! Sitting at the local library, checking my emails and putting in a few orders. Bit of a delay getting the new newsletter emailed out, my computer internet and email are out of action, grrrr. Managed to get a Trojan Horse....luckily my virus programme picked it up! Anyway, it deleted a few operating system files and now I feel like my hands are tied behind my back!!! Fortunately, I can still use everything else on my computer and the newsletter will be coming out in paper form. You will receive it next week at workshops.
Don't forget this weekend is the SA Stamping and Scrapbooking Fair at Immanuel College. Look forward to seeing you there!
Hopefully computer will be back up and fully operational soon (I am having huge withdrawls!!)
